The cross reference of related application
The application is non-provisional application, the name that requires Burke to submit on September 2nd, 2011 is called " for the method and apparatus of load profiles management and cost sensitivity analysis ", sequence number is 61/530, the right of priority of 646 U.S. Provisional Patent Application, it is incorporated herein by reference with regard to each side.
Technical field
Generality of the present invention relates to energy management, more specifically relates to a kind of system, computer implemented method and computer program for load profiles (load profile) management and cost sensitivity analysis.
Background technology
Facilities management person can attempt identification, revises and implement load profiles: a kind of electrical engineering term of the curve changing with respect to the time for electrical load, its target cost that represents a facility reduces.This facilities management person utilizes for example cost target to start.Then facilities management person can consider to consume the large number quipments of the energy and guess which equipment may have appreciable impact and therefore form remarkable Cost Driver total energy load.Once which equipment facilities management person has guessd out for obvious drive energy cost, this facilities management person faces the challenge of the load profiles of each equipment working of combination.For example, facilities management person may wish to combine the load profiles of all devices in all HVAC unit or certain layer or department.Similarly, facilities management person may wish to create to facility load profiles all in this facility or that the selectable equipment of institute is made an explanation.This is usually processing dull and consuming time for a variety of reasons.Even if gauge is in place on desirable equipment, entity is installed and also may not comprised from the data splitting of gauge or from for combining the data splitting for the device of the gauge reading of designated equipment.In addition the software that, is used for retrieving gauge data possibly cannot be combined into gauge data preferred logical collection.
The equipment of facilities management person for selecting, such as the equipment believed as remarkable Cost Driver of all facilities and equipments or selection, creates typical case or baseline load profile.Baseline load profile is the expression of the actual energy expenditure of the continuous data based on selected equipment.
Then, in the process of the energy cost that the equipment of appointment is associated in attempting to reduce baseline load profile, facilities management person must utilize the apparatus of load of modification to create targeted loads profile, is also new modeling load profiles.Compare with baseline load profile, targeted loads profile can be the modeling load profiles modifying in energy expenditure.This processing may be very consuming time and dull, because facilities management person cannot predict cost impact or cost sensitivity that load profiles changes easily, thereby needs facilities management person to make valid conjecture.Then facilities management person repeats this processing, and the load that configures relevant device with iterative processing is until realize target load profiles or target cost reduction.
Finally, once this has been done or entity device has been made to targeted loads profile, change, facilities management person's a complete charging phase of wait is to examine the impact causing on cost due to the change that load profiles is made.If cost target is not yet reached, facilities management person starts described processing again.Once the charging phase finishes, can whether significantly be less than potential saving to the cost of implementation goal load profiles in this facility and make definite to guarantee the enforcement of targeted loads profile.
This whole processing is time-consuming but also fallibility not only, and usually too risk to such an extent as to cannot carry out during the working time, because targeted loads profile may have negative effect to producing and selling.Further, described analysis only represents temporal single snapshot, and can not all include all correlated variabless in consideration.For more advanced enterprise, facilities management person can export mass energy load data to energy domain analysis person simply, then this energy domain analysis person targeted loads profile that lower work is optimized with establishment online.This processing is still time-consuming, and shortage repeatability also lacks scale.
Summary of the invention
Provide a kind of system, computer implemented method and computer program, for load profiles management and cost sensitivity analysis.Described system makes user can create the targeted loads profile of facility and determines and at facility place, implement this targeted loads profile cost efficient whether for this facility, and reconfigure equipment or cost plenty of time without cost substantial contribution, waits until the end of any resource provider (utility provider) metering period.
Described system provides user interface to realize establishment or the input of baseline load profile based on one group of apparatus of load profile, and the establishment based on described baseline load profile realize target load profiles.For example, the normal running of the HVAC equipment of the refrigeration plant that user is facility and facility creates baseline load profile, and reconfigures based on revising the proposal of described baseline load profile establishment targeted loads profile for facility refrigeration plant and facility HVAC equipment.Although the load profiles of facility can be in conjunction with many load profiles, the example of this simplification is only in conjunction with two kinds of load profiles.
Baseline load profile and described targeted loads profile described in described systematic comparison.For example, described system is made comparisons to described targeted loads profile and described baseline load profile, guarantees that the operation of facility is unaffected.Described system is via the comparative result of user interface export target load profiles and baseline load profile.For example, the comparative result of described system based target load profiles and baseline load profile based on exporting cost variance such as the resource provider information of complicated time-division charge rate even load profile.It is the targeted loads profile that creates of this facility cost efficient whether for this facility that cost variance makes system user can determine to implement user, and reconfigure equipment or cost plenty of time without cost substantial contribution, waits until the end of any resource provider metering period.

Computer program 106 makes user can create the targeted loads profile of facility and determines to implement at facility place this targeted loads profile cost efficient whether for this facility, and reconfigure equipment or cost plenty of time without cost substantial contribution, waits until the end of any resource provider metering period.Computer program 106 based on one group of apparatus of load profile or input or establishment baseline load profile, then creates targeted loads profile based on this baseline load profile via user interface 108.For example, user creates baseline load profile for the normal refrigeration energy cost of facility and the normal HVAC energy cost of this facility.User can input this baseline load profile and revise the targeted loads profile that this baseline load profile reconfigures with the suggestion creating for facility refrigeration plant and this facility HVAC equipment.Alternatively, user can also create targeted loads profile to be similar to for creating the mode of baseline load profile.By establishment, be combined with from the continuous data of HVAC load profiles with from the targeted loads profile of the continuous data of refrigeration load profile, computer program 106 can continue unaffected while making operating in of associated HVAC system and refrigeration system make comparison between targeted loads profile based on continuous data of 106 pairs of computer programs and baseline load profile.
Although the load profiles of facility many component load profiles capable of being combined, the example of this simplification only combines the component load profiles of two types.For example, each load profiles of the baseline load profile of facility and/or the targeted loads profile refrigeration system for this facility capable of being combined, HVAC system, illuminator, water system and natural gas system.
Compatible between filing with proof load of the form that computer program 106 can reset load profiles and create baseline load profile and targeted loads profile the two.For example, computer program 106 can to the load profiles for intelligent meter from facility regional data base 110 and from the load profiles reformatting for refrigeration system cost and HVAC system cost of energy regional data base 112 to guarantee that these load profiles can be compatible, thereby realize to these load profiles relatively or realize create baseline load profile on these load profiles basis.
Targeted loads profile can be static load profile or measures elementary load profiles.For example, thus targeted loads profile can be that to take equipment that user reconfigures facility be basic targeted loads profile by measured historical data in specific a day of ad hoc fashion operation.In another embodiment, thus targeted loads profile can be that to take from being reconfigured by the measured current data of equipment of the facility of ad hoc fashion operation by user be basic metering load profiles.
Load profiles detector 116 is by targeted loads profile and the comparison of baseline load profile.For example, 116 pairs of targeted loads profiles of load profiles detector compare with the continuous data from baseline load profile, thereby guarantee that the operation of this facility is unaffected.
Load profiles detector 116 is via the comparative result of user interface 108 export target load profiles and baseline load profile.For example, the calculating that the comparison of load profiles detector 116 based on cost engine 118 use targeted loads profiles and baseline load profile carried out and based on exporting cost variance such as the resource provider information of load time-division charge rate even load profile.
Cost engine 118 can make system user can select to be applied to resource provider information and the rate information of targeted loads profile.For example, resource provider information and rate information that system user can be replaced facility by the resource provider information with selective and selective rate information carry out " supposing (what-if) " sight, to determine whether client can reduce cost by changing resource provider.
Cost engine 118 can resolve into load profiles charging cost factors such as demand, expenditure and penalty cost (penalties cost), comprise timesharing susceptibility, and polymerization load profiles can be resolved into component load profiles and minute other relative demand and cost contribution and cost sensitive degree etc.Load profiles data can be analyzed, decompose or be handled to cost engine 118, to indicate indivedual Cost Drivers of crossing over such as the selected equipment such as HVAC, refrigeration and illuminating lamp, equipment group etc.Described resolution process can be analyzed the load profiles such as appointments such as baseline load profiles, and to indicate which special equipment, place, energy expenditure or timesharing be drive energy cost.For example, the demand based on load, rate etc., it is HVAC equipment that cost engine 118 can be indicated the most significant Cost Driver of facility, and provides and device-dependent cost sensitive degree chart of HVAC etc.
Energy expenditure and/or timesharing that computer program 106 can generate suggestion automatically change to provide target cost to reduce, and via user interface 108 these suggestions of output.For example, computer program 106 can evaluating objects cost, for example-10%, and calculate the suggestion of the load being pulled by HVAC equipment in the whole facility that causes target cost to reduce is reduced, during it causes the business hours, facility temperature was once rising.
The selection of inputting based on user and restriction, computer program 106 can provide the scheme that is applicable to User Priority.For example, facilities management person can specify and will not allow during the business hours temperature change more than a certain temperature as the suggestion reducing costs.Computer program 106 can provide such as the temperature rising during the non-peak hours, alternative suggestions such as minimizing of floor light (floor lighting) and reduce energy cost.Computer program 106 reduces for user provides enough dirigibilities to use data that computer program 106 provides automatically to determine to reach target cost, and without to the change of necessaries or the change to expectation special energy expenditure in abridged from analyze.Computer program 106 also can illustrate not yet to be implemented but can come the entity workshop (physical plant) of modeling or facility to revise by system.For example, facilities management person can select and window adjusting is set at south orientation window or at layer 3, the performance index that high efficiency hvac systems etc. are associated is installed, and computer program 106 can provide the expected cost owing to these changes to change.Obviously, these outputs need the relevant known or public data of efficiency that is associated of input and described entity apparatus.
It is the targeted loads profile that creates of this facility cost efficient whether for this facility that the cost variance of load profiles detector 116 output makes system user can determine to implement at a facility place user, and reconfigure equipment or cost plenty of time without cost substantial contribution, waits until the end of any resource provider metering period.Load profiles detector 116 can be user and provides such as the cost variance between load profiles, selection and historical apparatus of load or demand, load correction, historical load, cost sensitivity, history and expected cost, about the data such as related data of resource provider and rate.Cost sensitivity is the function changing as load profiles, also as expenditure and timesharing or need the cost gradient of the function of integration time.For facility, place, floor, system etc., cost sensitivity can calculate and show for one or one group of equipment.
If computer program 106 prediction expectation costs can not reach, facilities management person simply modifying target load profiles and from cost engine 118 upgraded, revised, the cost output of association.If the estimated cost that computer program 106 generates is different from real cost that can be from resource provider obtains resource bill after, and the cost of expecting not yet reaches, and can be improved this processing.For example, facilities management person can create and comprise the new baseline load profile of extra or distinct device load or make the actual loading of proofreading and correct better computer program 106 is used and modeling is carried out in demand, rate and other data and calculating.Yet, have benefited from computer program 106, for the rate of counting on one's card of estimated cost, be high.

Load profiles detector row 214 can comprise that the text 216 of being inputted via user interface 108 by client is to generate targeted loads profile based on baseline load profile.Alternatively, text 216 can be by computer program 106 relation based between measuring equipment load profiles and automatically generating.Complicated computer program is conventionally by software vendor or employ special home computer language to be write as, and this computer program is compiled into and can before effective language, conventionally needs to wait for that very long SDLC can be written in real time data system (live data system) in effort.By contrast, text 216 can be that to take client can light intelligible plain text be basic client's input, and text 216 can be explained rapidly and be carried out by real time data system, and without compiling or the text can be real time data system use before also without wait.During the development process of significantly accelerating, by eliminating such as software vendor and employing the agents such as expert, computer program 106 creates and for client provides realization, moves the ability of extensibility than the Development Life Cycle of relatively large load profiles by significantly reducing.
In this example, the targeted loads profile that text 216 represents based on to the modification of baseline load profile, targeted loads profile is shown that user creates and the equation of input, and wherein the targeted loads profile of facility 1 is to equal HVAC cost to be multiplied by 2 and to add that refrigeration cost is multiplied by 0.5 cost.For this example, the reconfigurable HVAC equipment of system user and refrigeration plant are to optimize operation and the cost of facility 1.System user can be attempted, by improve operation that the operation of HVAC equipment reduces refrigeration plant simultaneously, facility 1 is reached to the operation demand that 10% cost target maintains facility 1 simultaneously.In this example, system user reconfigures HVAC equipment with pre-cooled facility 1 before peak energy expenditure hour, this can realize the reduction of the operation of refrigeration plant during peak energy expenditure hour, in peak energy expenditure hour, can cause out-of-proportion great amount of cost.At this, reconfigure operating period and by gauge, measured the apparatus of load profile of HVAC equipment and refrigeration plant, cause doubling the HVAC cost of last HVAC cost and half is in the refrigeration cost of last refrigeration cost.If last refrigeration cost is significantly more than last HVAC cost, this equipment reconfigures the reduction target that makes system user can realize operation cost expection 10%.Therefore, system user creates and inputs the potential text reconfiguring 216 of this equipment of reflection.The text 216 can represent static load profile, or the text 216 can represent the continuous data from facility, and whichever all can be described as targeted loads profile.
Text 216 also indicates heavy line to go out the targeted loads profile equation in load profiles detector row 214 with diagrammatic representation.For example, in the middle of the ground indication of the heavy line figure in load profiles detector row 214 one day, targeted loads profile slowly increases, increases fast and then reduce lentamente.
Load profiles detector 214 comprises text 218, and the baseline load profile that its indication performance HVAC load profiles is attached to refrigeration load profile is by solid line diagrammatic representation.For example, in the middle of the ground indication of the solid line figure in load profiles detector row 214 one day, baseline load profile increases fast, almost becomes smooth line, increase and and then increases fast.
